  • Best Advice I Ever Received:

    Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

  • Hobbies:

    I love to be on the water—boating, fishing or wakeboarding on MN lakes and the Mississippi River. I’ve lived in Los Angeles, where I got into Beach Volleyball and Ultimate Frisbee. I also lived in Bozeman, Montana for a few years where I fell in love with snowboarding Big Sky country, hiking, and floating the Yellowstone River. I came back to my Minnesota roots a few years ago. I love exploring the lakes in MN, the live music scene in the cities, and camping all over the North Shore.

  • Something No One Would Guess By Looking At Me:

    I’ve attended over 300+ concerts and conferences as an Audio or Video Engineer.

  • Favorite Music Artists:

    Logic, Atmosphere, Lil Dicky, G-Easy, Macklemore, Anderson .Paak, Lorde, Jess Glynee, Jon Bellion, Hall & Oats, Marvin Gaye, Van Morrison, CCR, Foreigner, The Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, Beyonce, Halsey and Julia Michaels.

  • Genre Preferences / Specialties:

    80s/90s/2000s Pop, and some current Pop. Current and older Hip-Hop (from Biggie and Snoop, to Kendrick Lamar and Drake). I have a pretty diverse taste. I will listen to Queen and the Rolling Stones on my way to work, and Eminem and Brother Ali on my home. Anything with a good beat that will get me movin’ and groovin’!

  • My Relationship with Music:

    While I understand the importance of silence sometimes, I truly understand the importance of music and rhythm. I constantly am listening to music in the car, at work, and at home. I grew up with older parents and siblings, so I fell in love with oldies at a young age. I am a huge movie junkie, and sometimes fantasize that my life is a movie. I feel the need to create playlists for different days or different moments in my life. I would LOVE to create a soundtrack for a movie someday.
